Embracing a career with Solar Sister has proven to be not just a job but a journey of personal satisfaction for John Mureithi, a Sales Agent based in Nairobi, Kenya.
“This work with Solar Sister is fulfilling because it benefits people. I can make a positive impact on their life.”
When John Mureithi, a Solar Sister Sales Agent in Nairobi, Kenya, began his career, he went into marketing, learning all he could. He landed a job with an import company, and his job was to clear the imports into Kenya. The work was interesting, but he felt unfulfilled. He wanted something that he had a personal stake in.
He heard about the work with Solar Sister and decided to try it. At first, it was challenging, he said. As an introvert, John needed to build confidence to approach people he did not know.
“With the aid of Solar Sister’s training, I was able to grow on a personal level,” John shares, “Now, I feel much more at ease when talking to people, and my confidence has significantly improved.”
John finds immense pleasure in being his own boss, dictating his work rhythm. He’s established a relationship with a local bank branch, where he showcases his clean cookstoves. The bank’s patrons have come to know him, and he regularly receives referrals from them.
A careful, meticulous person, John thrives in this bank setting.
“I have enjoyed getting to know people that come into the bank. Over time, my customers have become more than just clients – they’re friends. They have become like family,” he reflects.
His journey with Solar Sister is not merely about sales; it’s about making a positive difference in people’s lives, and that, to John, is a reward in itself.
